FriendFeed is a very finely crafted thing with many beautiful details.

The way it clusters multiple shares of the same article, for instance. I also like how it manages the information flow. Very nice. On the other hand, those features aren't enough to get me not to switch to Buzz as soon as I can get everyone migrated over. :-)
- Piaw Na
Two-stage hiding. The promotion semantics of Like and Comment. The visual design. When the realtime updates happen and when they don't. The way pagination works. One-paragraph comments. How it decides which names of likers to show. But the craft is not in the features, it's in the thing itself.
- Daniel Dulitz
Totally agree. FriendFeed innovated in ways that will never be fully appreciated by most. In a way, it's like that Postal Service album. I'm kinda glad there wasn't a sequel, because where it froze in time was just perfect.
- DeWitt Clinton
Agreed. The release of Buzz really underscores the attention to detail in FF and makes me appreciate the many design decisions that they got right. It's sad that the inovation had to stop after the acquisition.
- Chip Ramsey
Agree. I feel strong information overload in buzz. Visual design of buzz is very ugly. Full of useless frames and icon. Why did google release such a immature prototype to the public?

I've said it before: it's an elegant social networking site for a more civilized age.
- Goran Zec
What really sets it apart is how clean it feels. I use it with the Helvetica theme (but Deja Vu Sans and banner hidden through adblock , since I dislike Helvetica), a greasemonkey script to color-code my friends' comments. It's all whitespace and well-formatted content.

Why don’t more content management systems make event information available as useful data? Why do they instead advertise things like XHTML compliance and not-very-useful RSS feeds? Because, chicken-and-egg, nobody ever seems to expect an iCalendar feed. If we can change that expectation, a nice chunk of the real-world semantic web will fall into place. And it won’t require RDFa or SPARQL or ontologies. Just good old RFC2445, right under our noses the whole time, if only we would open our eyes and look.

I guess they're not interested in doing a Desktop App, but it's got a lot of cool potential, in my mind.

How often do you go through your Flickr traffic logs MG? U has eegul eyes.
- Josh
@josh - life is like a flickr traffic log, you never know what you're gonna get.
- MG Siegler
Hm, interesting if they will give a preview to someone in advance, really dying to know what they are cooking now.

Also looking forward to Friendfeed Alpha after that.

Loved- "It’s probably pointless to speculate" but I so want everyone to speculate!!! All of your posted suggestions would be great MG.

I actually saw this yesterday when perusing the Changelog Bret posted here http://changelog.friendfeed.com/2008... and I immediately tried it only to find it redirect me to normal FF.
- Mark Krynsky
ahh exciting

They've been awfully quiet lately, I've been wondering if they were up to something

Awesome scoop!

this explains why no new features for FF recently

well, I am probably in minority, but what if not all of us would like what is there behind beta.ff.com ?

Thanks Alex. I saw this last night and went on a rant to my husband about basic development best practices and how I would assume that any company that knew what they were doing would have a beta. or test. or weusethisbeforepushingitoutsoitdoesntcrash. subdomain. :D

HTTP Referer tracking can be used for so much mischief. Create google-acquisition.friendfeed.com in /etc/hosts pointing to your local web server, then post a page that links to louisgray.com or techcrunch or whatever, click a few times. There are probably easier ways.
- Amit Patel
Amit, that's funny. I have used Referral logs to find new sites, like ReadBurner and Shyftr, but I think for the example you mention, I'd do some calling before posting a story, which is what MG did here. :-)
- Louis Gray
My precious.... (Couldn't resist. )
- Roberto Bonini
+1 Amit. I like how you think. :D
- Cyndy
@amit - as louis noted, I checked it out and got confirmation before posting.

Absolutely great!!
